[OT] Bulle qui rulle

Hello,

Here is yet another piece of music entirely composed with Musical
Objects for Squeak, aka µO:

I have uploaded an uninformative but rather cool screenshot of some of
the editors used for this project:

The whole composition is computed from the lower graph. The editor
displayed at the top of the world shows the very end of the piece.

Interesting, thanks for sharing..  One question I have does any part
of the rhythm of this piece (or any part of muO) depend on Squeak
performing in a real-time fashion (in order for the rhythm timings to
be correct)?  Or is Squeak's involvement merely producing an ogg file
in batch mode (which is played in real time by ogg players)?

The whole piece has been performed by sending MIDI events in real-time
from Squeak to Cantabile (a VST host). A VST plug-in was used to record
the performance as a WAV file (the free version of Cantabile is not able
to do so).

In my experience, Squeak timing is excellent. This particular piece is 6
minutes long and features about 8000 notes. I never had a single
discernible delay during the whole composition process.

I use a priority setting of Processor timingPriority - 1 for MIDI output
threads.

Actually I realized that Squeak can handle real-time work quite well,
including animation, when I did my space invader game last year. Did you
try it ? It's there:
